Now I know that it's difficult for you to tell given that you cannot see a pic of the test but I'm hoping SOMEONE,ANYONE will be able to tell me what I want to hear help me. I POAS this morning, an Amazon cheapie, thought I could see a possible line but was tricky and heard that Amazon cheapies not the most reliable SOOO being completely POAS bonkers I decided that rather than wait (am 10dpoBlush) I'd do one after work too...peeing on money, I know.

This time I used a morrisons own brand (no FR avaliable) and thought perhaps could see something but not sure SOOO as mentioned above I'm insane, I took it apart to check strip under light, still wasn't sure if could see anything and discarded as BFN. I put it back together and left it on the side. After about 45 mins, I went back and looked and low and behold a very thin BLUE vertical line not grey and no where near as thick as the horizontal one.

Do you think my taking it apart has effected the blue dye? If it's an evap I should only see a grey antibody line? You can probably tell I'd love this to be my BFP, been TTC#1 for 11 months. I really really want this to be REAL.

Hi there, nice to meet you!
I think you know the reality is you've meddled with the test and it's not valid. Don't worry about being POAS mad I too have the amazon pee sticks in stock and realised I had blizted through 14 in two months at one point (seriously insane!). When is AF actually due?
You already know really that you need to wait and retest - the amazon cheapies and Morrisons aren't designed to give early results. If you can't wait try to get a first response and bear in mind their % accuracy increases the nearer you are to AF visiting. I hope it is a BFP! Good luck.

I think evaps can be coloured too. Just don't look after the 10 minutes are up: that way doth madness lie.

Good luck, hope you are pregnant and that you find out soon before you have to remortgage to fund your POAS habit WinkGrin.

Thank you for answering guys, didn't reply as have been conscientiously sitting on my hands to prevent more poas! Am a day late but still BFN so guess am just waiting for the evil hag to put in an appearence now Sad

At least I now know Evap lines can be coloured! In all the months of TTC and the hundreds (and I literally mean hundreds Blush) of HPTs used haven't seen coloured Evap but have previously only even used Amazon cheapies so I will be prepared in future. You're right Bex I knew the REAL truth about tampering with test but just wanted it to be my BFP.

Thank you

I'm only right because I've tampered myself in the past!
Here's hoping we both get our BFPs v sooon Smile
